CNN: Why are you not bribing our fascist President?
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

The way it doesn’t even occur to him what a nightmare this experience was on her end is insane though I’m sure very typical.

People just voted across multiple states, in droves, for Dems who’ll fight for something.
_If_ Senate mods follow that showing by opting to fold for nothing … I do not think they will expect the backlash they touch off.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Never forget that he and the rest of the ultra wealthy aren’t afraid of Zohran failing; they’re scared of him succeeding.

A thing you're not seeing if you haven't checked Twitter in the last week is all the political betting markets (Polymarket, Kalshi) are actively caping for Cuomo and spreading Zohran conspiracies on there. Usually this would be a cause for some sort of regulatory oversight but that no longer exists.

Ezra Klein is so fucking stupid.
I will never understand the pundit obsession with getting Democrats to solve "political division."
Not only is this what they're already doing, but Klein admits that Republicans will never do the same. So elections will remain constant GOP smears and simping Democratic promises of bipartisanship.

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

I don’t trust a highly paid director to be willing to strike if it means he can’t make his movies. And the threat of a strike is the source of almost all a union’s power.

Does Klein really think GOP’s anti-abortion views are their secret sauce?
It’s endlessly annoying to hear pundits argue over which group to throw under the bus next when they know they can make the whole electorate happy by taxing the super rich and holding the powerful accountable.
